Buttock Augmentation

 Brazilian Butt Lift shapes the body by removing fat usually from those unwanted areas such as back, abdomen, thighs and hips and transferring it to the buttocks area. Butt implants on the other hand are made of silicone or saline implants and inserted into the buttocks for added volume without refinement to other regions of the body. 

 Results vary significantly between patients depending on the surgeon, the patient’s body and other factors. The body can absorb anywhere from 20% to 95% of the transferred fat, which means that the surgeon will transfer more fat than is actually wanted to compensate for that which will be reabsorbed. That said; fat transfers tend to last longer than other fillers, with results reportedly lasting for years instead of months. 

 The patient would need to have sufficient fat in other areas of the body including abdomen, thighs, back and hips to be removed using liposuction. Overweight patients might have to lose some weight before Brazilian Butt Lift or opt for a different procedure, European Outpatient Surgery Center requires a BMI below 31. 

 Are there such things as cheap BBL? Yes, we all heard stories in the news in which patients were injected with toxic foreign substances into their buttocks, causing a variety of health issues. Be kind to yourself and make sure the physician performing the BBL is a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience. 

 Yes, additional areas of your body may be eligible for Liposuction along with the Brazilian Butt Lift. Ask one of our surgical care coordinators to learn more about these options.
